Short Bio
Buildings and Cars can’t yell at you ! Love the HotRod culture and MotorSports.
Love to shoot anything that goes fast ! Cut my teeth on moving objects in the USN shooting aircraft.
Started shooting film back in the late 70’s on a Pentax K1000. Developed my own shots for many years. Entered the digital era with a Olympus E-500, loved that camera until it landed on the Salt Flats one afternoon, never worked again.

Short Bio: I'm a husband, a father, and a passionate photographer. Enjoying life with my bride, our three beautiful kids, and the worlds best dog Sparkie.
I've seen amazing images all my life and began capturing them on camera when I was attending engineering school. A stable job at an engineering firm was all I ever wanted, but something was different when a camera was in my hands. I felt alive and everything felt "right." I took my engineering knowledge (left brain) to good use by analyzing the camera gear and how it all functioned, meanwhile the right side of my brain was visualizing images that just needed to be captured. I offered to help photograph a wedding for a friend and by the end of the night I was hooked. Exhausted, but excited at the same time. Telling the story of a wedding is something I truely enjoy. In January of 2009 I began a daily photo blog where I posted photos every day that had been taken within that week. This helped me to see light, to really study composition, and to bring my photography to the next level. I intend to keep this blog going as long as I can because it really helps me to stay focused and to improve.

A word from the Author - Jarvie
One of the more sad events of 2009 for me involves Trent.
He was a keynote speaker at PhotoCamp Utah.
I was prepping a presentation for after his and so I sadly was not able to see the presentation, and it makes me sad.
Everyone talked about it and loved it, so I know I missed something special.
This post focuses on his sports photography which he does a lot of. But of course he does so much more working for the paper.
He's a really neat guy, we get along well.
He's also a guy after my own heart having way too many projects and websites... Just Like ME! haha
